Amanda and I had an early morning garage sale plan that necessitated a sleepover! It is funny how similar sleepovers at 25 are to sleep overs at 5 or 15... staying up way too late talking way too much. Which meant our 6:15 a.m. alarm came way to early. But we were in line at the Countryside Church garage sale at 7:02 . I wish I had action pictures, in general I need to do a better job at taking pictures while I am doing things, like with people and everything. We found some other garage sales and estate sales and each ended up with a few treasures.
Amanda's Treasures:
A bag of plate hangers - $.50 (new they cost about $3.50!) {for her awesome dinning room wall covered in silver platters}
A solid wood high chair - $15 {perfect for a 'big boy chair' for Matthew after it is painted a'la Young House Love}
My Treasures:
1000 Large Paperclips - $1.00 {to fill an apothecary jar- as shown}
Large Plate with blue floral detail - $.25 {I have a small collection of floral plates for a someday wall display like this or this or this}
Cookie Cutters - $.50 {I love decorating Christmas cookies! A gift, a star, an ornament.}
'In A Pickle' Game - $.50 {brand new in box and shrink wrap}
4 Japanese Lotus Bowls - $.50 each {My most exciting purchase of the day}
In the afternoon, I had a little set up for a wedding at work.
I love my job!
I was able to spend a little time with my mom and young siblings. My sister had just been to a makeover birthday party where they had updos and even put on make-up. She looked cute, but too grown up. In my mind she is still my baby, I can't imagine how I will feel when she is a teenager.
Now I am hanging out with my husband and his twin brother watching season 2 of Parks & Rec. They both have sweet new hair cuts, by me!
Did you have a wonderful Saturday too?
